When my brother and I traveled last week, we really talked extensively of how we loved The Avengers movie. Actually, he was scheduled to watch a second time when he back to Manila. He wanted to watch the 3D version.

Now, I know that we are not the only ones raving about the The Avengers. You see, the movie has set a new record in the domestic box office because it earned a whopping $200.3 million on its opening weekend this summer 2012. It is the largest by far in history, beating even Harry Potter.

And overseas, the superhero film earned $441.5 million, which makes its worldwide total of $641.8 million. For only one weekend, it had already surpassed the lifetime totals of other superhero flicks, namely Captain America: The First Avenger ($364 million), Thor ($449 million), Iron Man ($585 million), and Iron Man 2 ($624 million). Imagine that!

It is reported that The Avengers may earn a total of $1 billion worldwide. Well, the movie is really deserving so job well done to everyone involved!

The Destruction in Super Hero Flicks

Posted on May 6, 2012 by movie critic| Leave a comment

My husband and I love watching super hero movies. I am not really sure why but maybe it is because my husband liked to collect and read comics when he was younger that it is just different when you see the superheroes come to life on screen.

On my part, I guess it is the fact that I also want to like what my husband is raving about. But whenever we are done watching a movie, like the recent The Avengers movie, I would tell my husband that I am glad that superheroes are not real.

That is because whenever and wherever there are superheroes, there are also super villains and their fights cause so much destruction to the city. Just imagine metal buildings getting melted or smashed to smithereens. But in real life, the only big devastating event where we have seen a metal building collapsing was during the 911 terrorist attack. That was a singular event but it killed many people so how much more if superheroes do exist!

So anyway, I will just continue to watch superheroes in movies and I hope they stay there. We wouldn’t have room for them in the real world! LOL No offense.

You know what? I love these super hero flick. I am not sure why but the excitement was heightened because my husband is such a fan and of course, we watch these movies together. No, they are not romantic, but it is nice to find something that we both like.

Hehe You would wonder what I would so like about these Transformers because they are robotic? They are just made of metal and held together with bolts and slot nuts.

Well, maybe it is because of the action. Or maybe because of the human interest. Or maybe because despite the destruction, it is not realistic because we all know that such giant robots, both good and bad, do not exist.

But anyway, I do like the Transformers but I would not like to collect them though. They’re not cute. LOL Thankfully, my husband is not asking to collect action figures. But we just bought Avengers toys from Petron. teehee The movie was just so memorable for us that we can’t help but buy these toys. And well, it helped that they are cheap. teehee
